Session 2

Interpreting that Rocks
Instructor: Mr. Daniel Tamayo

In this practical and highly interactive 2.5-hour workshop, the presenter will share translation concepts and strategies that will help interpreters improve the quality and ease of their renditions.

The aim is to help participants overcome several of the most common challenges faced when interpreting in sight, consecutive and simultaneous translation modes in the legal setting.

Translating the “untranslatable”

• Important syntactical and lexical challenges and solutions
• Effective, on-the-spot transfer of meaning between English and Spanish when dealing with words and concepts that pose challenges during transference into the target language.
• Sight Translation Exercises

This professional development activity will take place through the presenter’s own Zoom platform. Technical support for Zoom will not be provided. Please note that this webinar is ATIF Members Only and is limited to 100 participants.
